David Vopřada

I wrote my doctoral thesis on Ambrose’s Commentary on Psalm 118 (119): it was published in Italian as La mistagogia del Commento al Salmo 118 di sant’Ambrogio (Studia Ephemeridis Augustinianum, vol. 146, 2016). In my research, I focus on the 4th and 5th century in the Christian West, in particular on the topic of Christian initiation and homiletic literature. St Ambrose and St Augustine remain a great inspiration for me. At present, I work on prebaptismal catecheses of Quodvultdeus of Carthage and try to prepare an anthology of Patristic texts on ministry in the Early Church in Czech.
